I was looking for maximum performance without spending the big bucks. From the turbo, I'm running the HKS dowpipe, a Bonez hi-flow cat, and a local good-ol-boy shop installed a 3" single pipe back to a 3" in/out Borla stainless straight-thru muffler. They did a nice job. It's still not exactly cheap--I figure I've spent about $800. for the complete turbo-back system.



It's not as loud as I thought it would be, but some might consider it loud. I drove it across town on the interstate the other day, and it drones a little at cruise, but that's the way it is, and I LIKE it!

i only have one complaint about the N1's and that's the fact that the actual mufflers have to sit on an angle and they're too ******* low under the car. thank god i moved away from florida aka the land of speed bumps. i just can't believe that they would design a cat back for a car and not even think about the fact that they won't fit next to the gas tank... other than that i love them, but if you have to deal with any state inspections like i do in NJ then definately pick up the silencers. or find some mechanic that will just sell you a sticker.

:wiggle: made in taiwan isnt everything lol. RB had RSR in japan manufacturing the exhaust but when prices got high they changed manufacterers i dont know if they made here in the U.S.A or overseas, but racing beat is a good company or why would mazda let them design parts for their cars ex. the mazdaspeed protege with racing beat mods on it!!! there a tight company and from what i seen so far there products are always goooood
